You experience many magic moments at the Glastonbury Festival and it was no real surprise that this turned out to be one of them.

What started with a sparse crowd quickly swelled as the Bootleg Beatles got Saturday's main stage music under way by paying tribute to an album that's marking its 50th anniversary.

With an orchestra behind them, the title track of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and With A Little Help From My Friends set the tone for a feelgood set that helped wash away hangovers and belied the drizzle.

With lyrics to every song firmly entrenched in everyone's memory, the Bootleg Beatles and the Pepperland Sinfonia could hardly fail to entertain and even when "they had to leave as it was almost 1968", there was still time for everyone to throw peace signs at the sky and roar All You Need Is Love.
